20. and I became to the Jews as a Jew, that Jews I might gain; to those under law as under law, that those under law I might gain;
21. to those without law, as without law--(not being without law to God, but within law to Christ) --that I might gain those without law;
22. I became to the infirm as infirm, that the infirm I might gain; to all men I have become all things, that by all means I may save some.
23. And this I do because of the good news, that a fellow-partaker of it I may become;
24. have ye not known that those running in a race--all indeed run, but one doth receive the prize? so run ye, that ye may obtain;
25. and every one who is striving, is in all things temperate; these, indeed, then, that a corruptible crown they may receive, but we an incorruptible;
26. I, therefore, thus run, not as uncertainly, thus I fight, as not beating air;
27. but I chastise my body, and bring [it] into servitude, lest by any means, having preached to others--I myself may become disapproved.
